EVERY DIME FIGHTS CRIME.

How safe is your family in the still of the night? How safe are your kids at the neighborhood playground? How safe is your workplace when you’re not there?

Safety is truly the foundation of all that you value. Without it, there is no peace of mind. No life as you know it. No community built on the rule of law and decency.

If that isn’t worth supporting, what is?

The San Diego Police Foundation exists for one reason: to raise much-needed funds for the San Diego Police Department. Every dime you donate helps our heroic men and women in blue get the equipment, training and outreach programs they need to fight crime.

Due to drastic budget cuts, your donation is needed now more than ever. To buy protective vests. Upgrade technology and software. Purchase new Police Service Dogs. And make it possible for our police force to be better trained, better equipped and better supported than the criminals who threaten our communities.

The Foundation is an independent 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization providing support for efforts that enhance police/community relations, crime prevention, and public safety through grant funding for specialized equipment, training, and cooperative community programs.

Give a grant to the good guys.

With your help, we can make sure that every officer has what he or she needs to fight crime on your behalf.

SafetyNet: Smart Cyber Choices®

These days, criminal activity is just as likely to be found on the screen as it is on the street. Your children have access to websites and apps that expose them to cyberbullying, sexting and even dangerous online predators. The worst part is, you may not know until it’s too late. That’s why it’s so important to learn about and support the SafetyNet: Smart Cyber Choices® program.
